Help with Rear Brembo Rotor Replacement

hey everyone, well ive never done this before and by looking at guides it doesnt look that hard but I dont know what to do now... so here goes, i got the car jacked up and the rear tire off. Im trying to get to the bolts that hold the rear caliper on, there are only 2, I can get to the top one with a wrench, but the rear one is blocked by i think what is the camber.. how do i do this? do I have to take off that camber bar? is that what it is from the axel to the car at a diagonal slant? and should these bolts come off purely by arm strength? I cant get them to budge the least bit. do i have to take it to a shop with a pneumatic? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

There should be room to put a wrench on the bolt. Then you can use a rubber mallet to hit it to loosen it up. Don't be afraid to use some force, those bolts are torqued on tight.

I used an extension for my socket. You will most likely need a breaker bar to get the bolts off it this is the first time they have been removed.
